Factory Bed Extender

Just called the Bak Flip factory and they tell me that the hardware does not allow the factory installed bed extender to rotate out, whew, with all the great reviews I almost went out and bought one.
Hey there Old Street Racer:
You must have gotten someone who did not know what they were talking about. There are so many sellers out there who try to look like the factory, but are just an average dealer. The Factory Bed Extender has no conflict with the BakFlip...at all. Bak makes these things for Ford as an OEM product. Please call me at 800 653-7089 ext. 704 if you want to discuss any further.:peace:

thanks,
Morrie

whew I was scared there for a second. I used my bed extender all the time on my HD truck and didn't want to have to lose it to use the F1 that I already have.

I wonder if that guy on that other link installed the rails backwards, if thats even possible???

I thought that too but if you read his posting he says his has drains both in the front and the back.. I've never seen that so I have no idea what he's talking about. If he had his installed backward, you'd see the plates where the screw connects to hold the cover on to the rails..

/shrug

Maybe he's as confused as I am.. lol

So....I got money burning a hole in my pocket.
Looking to find the best deal I can for a Tonneau...narrowed it down to TWO


The ever popular Bakflip G2

or

Peragon

Shopping around I've found the G2 for as low as $678 with free shipping from Bakflip Factory outlet

Paragon is ONLY available from the manufacturer for $599 with free shipping..Downside of this cover is that it needs to be drilled and its not totally Waterproof.

So..what you guys think? 678 a good price for the cover? Leaning more towards the G2.

The Peragon won't open freely if you have anything in your truckbed either. its reall not a good cover. I will offer you the BakFactoryOutlet FRF price of $669. inc. shipping. The other factoryoutlet is really just another name for TruckAddOns.com Check out their customer service reviews on Google. Please call me at the original and authentic BakFactoryOutlet 800 653-7089 ext. 704 We really do provide excellent exper customer service! morrie

Bak tried the front and rear drain approach on the OEM model for a very short time. They abandoned that approach after just a short time. He must have gotten those rails.

Huh?

Are you talking about the factory option shown here in my Raptor?

If so there is no issue with rotating it out onto the opened tailgate as long as you flip up the Bakflip cover out of the way.

There's no way the hardware of the Bakflip is in the way or blocks it. Note that the Bakflips that I have and have seen do not have the drains at the back of the truck (like BigJ's pic). You can see one of the two drain tubes in the front right of the pic (below).

See the BakFlip F1 folded.
The BakFlip can be folded down, snap-locked in place
with tailgate extended or flip to inside.
You only need to flip open the Bakflip to swing tailgate extension.
Then, either lock the BakFlip open or snap it closed.
Works with all the Bedliners.

Thanks guys, I just recieved another e-mail from the factory and the lady corrected herself, interesting information that she wrote on the bottom of the message. See attached e-mail reply. .


My apologies...I was confusing your email with our RollBAK tonneau cover. The good news is that ALL BAKLIP models will work with your Bed Extender.



Hopefully this answers your question and again, very sorry for passing on errant information (by accident of course!)



Also, to be assured of getting the latest and most updated version of the G2, HD, F1 and CS covers, you will need to buy directly from us at BakFlip Tonneau Cover - BAKFlip Tonneau Covers as there are a large # of older covers out there in retail inventories, and there is no way of telling the difference from one box to the next without opening up the box and inspecting the cover. For instance, if you order now from us directly, you are assured of getting the ALL METAL BAKFlip G2 no extra charge. No one else can promise that from their inventories as this change is very recent and that is all we are shipping from our factory. This is a great time to buy as we guarantee the lowest advertised internet price, PLUS we are currently offering FREE SHIPPING to any address (inside the Continental U.S.) and No Sales Tax!



We look forward to hearing from you soon!



All the very best,

Jackie

Now that I have successfully scrared the crap out of everyone (sorry about that) which one do you recommend the G2, HD or F1 and do you have a price list?

Thanks!

Hi Morrie, What model bak flip is the $669 for? What do you charge for the HD shipped?

EDIT: Disregard, it's the F1 I want, thanks.
